Jodi Huisentruit, a 27-year-old news anchor, disappeared on June 27, 1995, while heading to work in Iowa. The investigation continues as authorities search for her remains. Private investigator Steve Ridge has been advocating to unseal case records, particularly concerning GPS tracking devices linked to John Vansice, a person of interest. A recent court ruling allowed partial unsealing of a search warrant, but the judge kept the supporting affidavit sealed to protect ongoing investigative details. Huisentruit's family has expressed opposition to unsealing these records, emphasizing the need to protect the investigation's integrity.
The court noted that the affidavit might reveal information only the perpetrator would know, such as specific times, items found or scene details.
Private investigator Steve Ridge has pushed for the courts to unseal records relating to the case, particularly those connected to GPS tracking devices.
Judge Drew stressed that, even after 30 years, public curiosity alone does not justify jeopardizing an active investigation into Huisentruit's disappearance.
Huisentruit's family released a statement on the Jodi's Hope Facebook page, saying they do not support unsealing the documents.
